Partially correct. If you monetize your videos on YouTube via their Adsense program, YouTube will send you a 1099 along with your check. Doesn't matter if you were flying 'for fun' - it's 'furthering a business' once you make money on it. So make sure you are not monetizing your videos or plan to down the road.

All the people trying to bend the rules or skirt them are part of the reason they keep making more of them - which in turn makes it harder on all of us,

i just check the faa and i looked pretty closely and i'm sorry i still do see any mention of adsense, 1099, anything related to monetization. but what i do see is, and i paraphrase, "when you take off with your flight (and that flight only), if your intent for the subsequent video is in furtherance of a business...." then you need part 107.

i know you call it skirting the rules but to me, this means: if you take off and your intent is to fly for fun, when you land that flight becomes a recreational flight. end of story. not going to matter what happens after that, a recreational flight doesn't somehow get converted into a commercial flight under certain conditions. it's all about intent. if the faa would like to clarify (because, as you call it, so many people are taking advantage) then i'm all for that but so far, there are not a bunch of new rules trying to contain a bunch of people "breaking" the rules. plus, i don't think we'll see any real changes in this area because personally i don't see where the faa has any business determining what you do with a drone. i think they purposes made it vague so it wouldn't be challenged...they could have easily said, make a penny, get a license first. but as you know, that would never "fly." so they use the word "intent" which is fair but i disagree with you that because people are lying about their intent we need to change the rules.

if i run a cooking show on youtube as a business and i make money on that channel and i fly my drone in my backyard with the intent to have fun* and i post it on my cooking channel not trying to further my cooking business or any other business and the yt algorithm pay me for not only for cooking video but also any other silly videos i post....no part 107 should be required. would love to see that go to court if the faa pushes it. does the dot require you to have a commercial trucking license if you post videos of you driving your pickup truck hauling oranges to your grandmother's house?

*if you use that drone video in your intro, if you are trying to attract subscribers by including cool drone shots, if you include drone videos in your kitchen scenes when you talk about ingredient from other countries....these things require part 107 because it's not strictly for fun. has nothing to do with getting paid by yt.

except key parts of it is incorrect. if you are in america and you believe the weight of the drone has anything to do with anything (except one item: recreational flyer drone registration) then no wonder you believe his post is the "best." you refer to "drone licensing" so already i can see the details don't matter to you and that's probably why you believe in the "primer." im not saying i know everything, but here's what i do know:

anyone who wants to legally fly this drone in america must affix a registration number to the drone. if this is your first drone, you need to register online for $5 and obtain that number. if this is not your first drone and you have registered in the past as a recreational pilot (flying for fun), all you need to do is take that same registration number (on one of your previous drones) and affix it to this drone. unlike all the cars in your garage, all the drones can have the same "license plate number." if you are a commercial pilot, you already know the [different] rules.

take the test. it's called TRUST. it's free and it's easy. keep a copy of it with you.

that's not true. if you fly your drone for fun and you're not promoting a business (i.e. commercial work) then you are free to do whatever you want with your own video and that includes posting it on youtube to share with your friends or family or looking at it under your bed in the dark. it's a myth that people keep saying otherwise or even "quoting" the faa as saying otherwise. it just isn't true until someone posts the faa law that says otherwise. there is absolutely nothing mentioned about where the videos end up. the rules relate to your intention when your drone lifted off from the ground: FUN...or not.

no that's not a "problem." nobody has done any serious property damage or hurt anyone from flying a drone. worldwide for the past decade, there has probably been 2 or 3 deaths, about 50 injuries and $2,000 worth of damage out of millions of drone flights. /s don't believe the hype, drone misuse and inept drone pilots are not harming the planet. unlike motorists who think they know how to drive, been given government licenses, heavily regulated and policed on the road, and then end up killing hundreds of thousands of people every year, billions of dollars of propery damage and ruining lives all over the world from alaska to australia from china to chile. but cars in the hands of drivers aren't the problem, those drones are, huh? stop posting anything about drone doing serious damage property and hurting people....they won't and they don't because they can't.

i live in a big city and i enjoy flying daily all over the city regardless of so-called "flight restrictions." i live 4 miles from an airport and i have no problem getting authorization to fly to a certain height during the daytime. i obey the laws and am enjoying flying just fine, i think it's a myth to claim a drone is useless inside city limits. sure you can't fly anywhere you want anytime you want but the restrictions and limitations don't take all the fun out of it. however, it will if you believe the talk. absolutely there are certain locations that are a nightmare, kinda like "don't buy a car because driving in downtown nyc is a total disaster"....same thing. very few local laws and bans, i don't think you have to worry about checking that much. when i drive my car over a few states to another city, i don't bother to check the local driving laws. i understand there are some minor instances and exceptions but nothing anyone should have to research before they buy a drone.

here we go ahead, scaring drone buyer with "remote id" and that you'll be "tracked." imagine if you buy a dslr to take photos at the kids football game and you were told the government is going to track everywhere you take pictures and review all your footage?...well, at least you said you were not a fan. neither am i. Smilie

I bet this guy is great at parties 😂
